About HostaFinder
A free place to compare named hosta varieties, explore growing guides, and plan the questions to ask a grower before choosing a plant.
Our Mission
HostaFinder helps you compare hosta varieties with the space, light and leaf colors you have in mind.
Use the catalogue to explore cultivar names and recorded plant traits. Selection collections and source-linked guides help you check the details behind a choice.
A plant profile is a reference, not a stock promise. Confirm the supplied plant, current availability and delivery terms with the actual seller.
What We Offer
Free Hosta Catalogue
Browse named hosta records and compare recorded size groups, leaf colors and source-backed details where available.
Plant Selection Quiz
Narrow a catalogue search by light, size, leaf color and zone. Use the results as a shortlist to check against your garden.
Grower Discovery
Explore the developing directory and check a grower's identity, service area and current availability before buying.
How to Use HostaFinder
Start by measuring your planting space and observing when it gets direct sun. Compare mature spread and growing needs before deciding on a leaf color or pattern.
Open a named cultivar profile and follow its sources when a fact matters to your choice. Missing information means a detail has not been supplied or verified, rather than proving the trait is absent.
Keep catalogue research separate from a seller's current offer. A public record can help you research a plant even when no verified nursery listing is available.
Our Values
Clear Information
We separate plant references from current seller information and show sources for new guides and comparisons.
Education
Practical guides help you check planting conditions and ask more specific questions before choosing a plant.
Community
Account features let gardeners save activity and growers prepare public nursery information.
Useful Corrections
Send a page link and a reliable source when you spot a plant fact that needs checking.
HostaFinder helps gardeners compare named hosta varieties before choosing a plant. The public catalogue currently contains undefined records, with selection collections and growing guides to support the next decision.
The service brings cultivar research, a simple finder quiz and grower discovery into one place. It is a plant reference and directory, not a claim that every cultivar has stock, that every grower is nearby or that every listed trait has expert review.
What you can use today
Browse cultivar names, recorded foliage traits and size groups. Use a selection collection to compare a few useful candidates, or try the quiz to narrow a search by garden conditions and preferences. Read the linked sources when a plant fact matters to your decision.

Plant information and availability are separate
A named cultivar can have a useful reference page before a seller lists it. The grower directory is developing, and availability depends on verified current offers.
Check a seller’s own plant size, identity, stock and delivery terms before arranging a purchase. HostaFinder does not operate the nursery stock described in the catalogue.
Help improve a record
If you spot an error, email support@hostafinder.com with the page address, the cultivar name and a source that supports the correction. A clear source helps us assess the issue.
We do not claim a nursery partnership, botanical affiliation or reviewer credential unless it is stated and supported on the relevant page.
Frequently asked questions
Does HostaFinder grow its own plants?
The public service is a cultivar reference and directory. A reference record is not HostaFinder-owned nursery stock.
Do I need a paid account to read the catalogue?
No. The public catalogue, selection pages and growing guides are free to browse.
How can I report a plant fact that looks wrong?
Email support@hostafinder.com with the page link, cultivar name and a reliable source. Please separate a catalogue correction from an order issue with a grower.
